By peeing in the shower, you can save 1,157 gallons of water a year.

A Brazilian environmental group launched a campaign and found that if a single household flushed the toilet one fewer time a day, it would save 1,157 gallons of water each year. That’s from one household not flushing once a day. The more households volunteer to pee in the shower, the higher the already significant number will go.Urine is sterile, thanks to our wondrous kidneys. So, as long as the water is running while you're peeing, you're all good. Peeing in the shower is harmless unless someone has a disease like hepatitis that pee can transfer.More: Can Not Stop Looking

"Vasocongestion" is the medical term for "blue balls”.

Vasocongestion is the swelling of bodily tissues caused by increased vascular blood flow and a localized increase in blood pressure. Typical causes of vasocongestion in humans includes menstruation, sexual arousal, REM sleep, strong emotions, illnesses and allergic reactions.Vasocongestion is essential for sexual procreation in mammals since this is the force that causes the hardening of a penis during an erection. The same force leads to the hardening of the clitoris and vaginal lubrication during sexual arousal. Other forms of vasocongestion during human sexual activity include sex flush and the swelling of nipples in both men and women. Unpleasant side effects of sex-related vasocongestion may lead to the cramp-like pain of "blue balls" in males and an unpleasant pelvic "heaviness" in women.More: About Feynman's Van

Mila Kunis was only 14 years old when "That '70s Show" started. She lied and said she was 18.

Milena Markovna "Mila" Kunis (born August 14, 1983) is an American actress. In 1991, at the age of seven, she moved from the Ukrainian SSR to Los Angeles with her family. After being enrolled in acting classes as an after-school activity, she was soon discovered by an agent. She appeared in several television series and commercials, before acquiring her first significant role prior to her 15th birthday, playing Jackie Burkhart on the television series That '70s Show.In 1998, Kunis was cast as Jackie Burkhart in the Fox sitcom That '70s Show. All who auditioned were required to be at least 18 years old; Kunis, who was 14 at the time, told the casting directors she would be 18 but did not say when. Though they eventually figured it out, the producers still thought Kunis was the best fit for the role. That '70s Show ran for eight seasons. She won two consecutive Young Star Awards as Best Young Actress in a Comedy TV Series in 1999 and 2000 for her performances.More: 2-Dimensional

If "once in a blue moon" is used literally, it means once every 2-3 years.

'Once in a blue moon' is an idiom that means, almost never. But, the term 'blue moon' has traditionally referred to an "extra" moon, where a year which normally has 12 moons has 13 instead. The phrase has nothing to do with the actual color of the moon.One lunation (an average lunar cycle) is 29.53 days. There are about 365.24 days in a tropical year. Therefore, about 12.37 lunations (365.24 days divided by 29.53 days) occur in a tropical year. In the widely used Gregorian calendar, there are 12 months (the word month is derived from moon) in a year, and normally there is one full moon each month. Each calendar year contains roughly 11 days more than the number of days in 12 lunar cycles. The extra days accumulate, so every two or three years (seven times in the 19-year Metonic cycle), there is an extra full moon. The extra moon necessarily falls in one of the four seasons, giving that season four full moons instead of the usual three, and, hence, a blue moon.More: Harry's Behind Them Grammys

Gerald Ford, the 38th president of the United States would turn to his Secret Service agents and loudly proclaim things like "Jesus, was that you? Show some class!" instead of owning up to his farts.

Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. (July 14, 1913 – December 26, 2006) was an American politician who served as the 38th President of the United States from 1974 to 1977. Prior to this he was the 40th Vice President of the United States, serving from 1973 until President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974. Becoming president upon Richard Nixon's departure on August 9, 1974, he claimed the distinction as the first and to date the only person to have served as both Vice President and President of the United States without being elected to either office.Ford had a very whimsical job for his secret service agents, a rather frustrating one if seen from those poor agent's eyes. Gerald Ford would blame his farts on his secret service people, conspicuously saying things like, "Jesus, was that you? Show some class!" This must leave the agents red-faced, wishing Ford wasn't their president.Ford appeared in a popular series of televised press conferences with Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, in which they proposed Republican alternatives to Johnson's policies. Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of USA, expressed his views on the matter at the time, and said, "Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time." The press, reported this as "Gerald Ford can't walk and chew gum at the same time."

Life expectancy increases as we age; for each New Year we live, our life expectancy increases by three months.

Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of their birth, their current age and other demographic factors including sex.Life expectancy increases with age as the individual survives the higher mortality rates associated with childhood. Less developed regions of the world have experienced a steady increase in life expectancy since World War II, although not all regions have shared in these improvements. The most dramatic and rapid gains have occurred in East Asia, where life expectancy at birth increased from less than 45 years in 1950 to more than 74 years today.Some experts assume that life expectancy must be approaching an upper limit, but data on life expectancy between 1840 and 2007 show a steady increase averaging about three months of life per year. The country with the highest average life expectancy has varied over time. In 1840 it was Sweden and today it is Japan—but the pattern is strikingly similar. So far there is little evidence that life expectancy has stopped rising even in Japan.The oldest confirmed recorded age for any human is 122 years. This is referred to as the "maximum life span", which is the upper boundary of life, the maximum number of years any human is known to have lived.More: She Loves Money

Sanmay Ved owned ‘google.com’ for 1 minute after he saw the domain name available for purchase. Google quickly cancelled the purchase, and later paid him - $6,006.13 - which is “Google” spelled with numbers. Ved donated his reward to The Art of Living India, and upon hearing that, Google doubled the amount.

According to Sanmay Ved's LinkedIn profile, he will complete his MBA from Babson College in May, 2016. And, he has 10 years of entrepreneurial and eCommerce experience, 7 years of digital marketing experience, and 5 1/2 years of corporate experience at Google (across product, sales, and operations).A strange thing happened at 1:20 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, September 29 when Ved was learning more about the Google Domains interface. To his surprise, when he searched the domain google.com, he saw the domain was available for $12/year.Hoping that he'd get an error message at some point, he continued with the process of purchasing the domain. But, things went smoothly, his credit card was charged and he got confirmation emails and texts for the same purchase. As Ved wrote in his LinkedIn blog that he loves Google to heart, hence he reported the incident to Google Security. Google Security contacted him back and to show their gratitude they offered to reward him $6006.13. But Ved asked that the money be donated to the Art of Living India Foundation. Upon hearing that, Google doubled the amount. Ved wrote in his blog, "I have chosen that the donation be made towards the Art of Living's education program which runs 404 free schools across 18 states of India, providing free education to more than 39,200 children in the slum, tribal and rural belts where child labor and poverty are widespread. The schools nurture the complete child, including body, mind and spirit."More: About Prom

In December 1988, Kim Cattral had been booked on Pan Am Flight 103, which crashed in Lockerbie, Scotland. She cancelled her booking on the flight at the last minute to complete some Christmas shopping in London.

If two identical twin women were to marry identical twin men, their children would genetically be siblings.

A test of all children of the two identical twin couples would show up as if all children had the same two parents. Strictly genetically speaking, since it was two pairs of identical twins reproducing, all of those children would be (genetic) siblings, not (genetic) cousins. Our modern paternity testing's sensitivity would show them as siblings, but technically, due to random mutation shortly after the zygote split and other environmental factors many sets of identical twins do have base-pair differences (although they would need much more in-depth analysis to catch than a simple paternity/maternity test would provide).More: When You See Bae

The world’s oldest father is believed to be Ramjit Raghav from India. He was 96 years old when his 62-year-old wife gave birth to a baby boy in 2010. Raghav was single until he was in his 80s.

Ramjit Raghav was born in India in around 1916. In his younger days, he worked as a professional wrestler. Later on, he switched to farming, which is his current occupation. Raghav first became acquainted with Shakuntala Devi, who later married him, in around 2002. Devi was reportedly without a proper family at that time, and feeling sympathetic for her, Raghav took her to his home in Kharkhoda, taught her yoga, and then proposed to her. In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Raghav revealed that he had sexual intercourse with his spouse around three to four times daily. He was quoted as saying, "I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly, and when she asks, I will go on all night."In 2010, at age 94, Raghav became the world's oldest father when his wife, then aged 60, gave birth to a son, whom the couple named Bikramjeet. In 2012, when Raghav was 96, his spouse gave birth to another son, named Ranjeet, thus breaking his own record. Raghav stated that the couple would not have a third child, as they were experiencing financial woes and needed to save up. He also announced that his wife would be undergoing tubal ligation to avoid the possibility of an accidental pregnancy.More: When Exams Are Over

Jackie Chan and his stunt team are blacklisted by all insurance companies so he has to pay himself whenever somebody in his movies gets hurt.

Jackie Chan (born Chan Kong-sang; 7 April 1954) is a Hong Kong martial artist, actor, film director, producer, stuntman, and singer. In his movies, he is known for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, use of improvised weapons, and innovative stunts, which he typically performs himself. He has been acting since the 1960s and has appeared in over 200 films.The dangerous nature of his stunts makes it difficult for Chan to get insurance, especially in the United States, where his stunt work is contractually limited. Chan holds the Guinness World Record for "Most Stunts by a Living Actor", which emphasizes "no insurance company will underwrite Chan's productions in which he performs all his own stunts".In 2016, Jackie Chan received an honorary Oscar for his career achievements at the Governors awards in Los Angeles. While receiving the award, he said, "Standing here is a dream. After 56 years in the film industry, making more than 200 films, breaking so many bones, finally this is mine."More: How To Properly Park A Vehicle

Compared to a cigarette, one Hookah session delivers about 25 times the tar, 10 times the carbon monoxide and 2.5 times the nicotine.

Hookah smoke contains multiple toxic chemicals. Water does not filter out many of these chemicals. Hookah smoke contains toxic chemicals that come from the burning of the charcoal, tobacco, and flavorings. Hookah smokers inhale many chemicals that can cause cancer, heart disease, lung disease, and other health problems. Hookah smoking increases the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) in a person's body to eight times their normal level. Compared to smoking one cigarette, a single hookah session exposes users to more carbon dioxide and PAHs, similar levels of nicotine, and lower levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines.During a typical one-hour hookah session, a user expels into the air 2-10 times the amount of cancer-causing chemicals and other harmful chemicals compared to a cigarette smoker. A typical hookah smoking session delivers 1.7 times the nicotine dose of one cigarette and the nicotine absorption rate in daily water-pipe users is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes per day.More: When It Is Monday Again

Lions pretend to be hurt by the bites of their young ones to encourage them.

The cubs initially lack confidence when confronted with adult lions for the first time, other than their mother. They soon begin to immerse themselves in the pride life, however, playing among themselves or attempting to initiate play with the adults. Lionesses with cubs of their own are more likely to be tolerant of another lioness's cubs than lionesses without cubs. The tolerance of the male lions toward the cubs varies – sometimes, a male will patiently let the cubs play with his tail or his mane, whereas another may snarl and bat the cubs away.Male lions are generally more likely to share food caught by the pride with cubs than with lionesses.More: How To Get Rid Of Girl Scouts

During the cold winters, the Alaska Wood frog freezes itself to death. It’s heart stops beating, it stops breathing. But when spring arrives, it thaws and comes back to life.

The wood frog has garnered attention by biologists over the last century because of its freeze tolerance, relatively great degree of terrestrialism (for a ranid), interesting habitat associations (peat bogs, vernal pools, uplands), and relatively long-range movements.Wood frogs can tolerate the freezing of their blood and other tissues. Urea is accumulated in tissues in preparation for overwintering, and liver glycogen is converted in large quantities to glucose in response to internal ice formation. Both urea and glucose act as cryoprotectants to limit the amount of ice that forms and to reduce osmotic shrinkage of cells. Frogs can survive many freeze/thaw events during winter if no more than about 65% of the total body water freezes.More: It Still Isn't Over

8% of globally produced salt is used for de-icing roads and only 6% is used for human consumption.

Only about 6% of the salt manufactured in the world is used in food. Of the remainder, 12% is used in water conditioning processes, 8% goes for de-icing highways and 6% is used in agriculture. The rest (68%) is used for manufacturing and other industrial processes, and sodium chloride is one of the largest inorganic raw materials used by volume. Its major chemical products are caustic soda and chlorine, which are separated by the electrolysis of a pure brine solution. These are used in the manufacture of PVC, plastics, paper pulp and many other inorganic and organic compounds. Salt is also used as a flux in the production of aluminium.The World Health Organization recommends that all adults should consume less than 2,000 mg of sodium (which is contained in 5 gram of salt) per day. Guidelines by the United States in 2010 recommend that people with hypertension, African Americans, and middle-aged and older adults should limit consumption to no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day and meet the potassium recommendation of (4,700 mg/day) with a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables.More: How To Encourage Your Child

A tigon is a hybrid cross between a male tiger and a female lion. Tigons are really prone to cancer and other illnesses like most hybrids. They also have a shorter life-span than a lion or a tiger.

Tigons can exhibit visible characteristics from both parents: they can have both spots from the mother (lions carry genes for spots—lion cubs are spotted and some adults retain faint markings) and stripes from the father. Any mane that a male tigon may have will appear shorter and less noticeable than a lion's mane and is closer in type to the ruff of a male tiger. It is a common misconception that tigons are smaller than lions or tigers. They do not exceed the size of their parent species because they inherit growth-inhibitory genes from the lioness mother, but they do not exhibit any kind of dwarfism or miniaturization; they often weigh around 180 kilograms (400 lb).At the Alipore Zoo in India, a female tigon named Rudhrani, born in 1971, was successfully mated to an Asiatic lion named Debabrata. The rare, second generation hybrid was called a litigon. Rudhrani produced seven litigons in her lifetime.A tigon's lifespan is 18-22 years (in captivity), whereas a tiger's lifespan is 20-26 years (in captivity), and a lion's lifespan is 25-30 years (in captivity). Tigons are really prone to cancer and other illnesses. As reports have recorded, the cause of death of most tigons is usually cancer.More: Whatever You Want

White tigers, tigons and ligers do not happen in the wild, but are the result of unscrupulous breeding.

White tigers, tigons, ligers are hybrids but they do not happen in the wild. They are either the result of unscrupulous breeding or the result of human interference.The white tiger is a hybrid mutant variant of the existing tiger subspecies. White Tigers are very large. They can weigh up to 300 kg and reach more than 4 meters of length.The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger, a tigress (Panthera tigris). The liger has parents in the same genus but of different species. The liger is distinct from the similar hybrid tigon. The liger is the largest of all known extant felines.A tigon or tiglon is a hybrid cross between a male tiger (Panthera tigris) and a female lion (Panthera leo).

Martin Luther King died when he was 39 years old. But an autopsy found that he had the heart of a 60-year-old because of stress.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs.King was shot at 6:01 p.m., April 4, 1968, as he stood on the motel's second-floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek, smashing his jaw, then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder. After emergency chest surgery, King died at St. Joseph's Hospital at 7:05 p.m. According to biographer Taylor Branch, King's autopsy revealed that though only 39 years old, he "had the heart of a 60 year old", which Branch attributed to the stress of 13 years in the Civil Rights Movement.More: You Are My Exception

Ligers continue growing throughout their entire lives due to a genetic disorder called growth dysplasia. They grow twice the size of their Tiger mama and Lion Papa. The largest cat in the world is a 418 Kg liger.

The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger (Panthera tigris). The liger has parents in the same genus but of different species. The liger is distinct from the similar hybrid tigon. The liger is the largest of all known extant felines.The liger is often believed to represent the largest known cat in the world. Males reach a total length of 3 to 3.6 m, meaning they are larger than large Siberian tiger males. Imprinted genes may be a factor contributing to huge liger size. Hybrid growth disorders refer to reduced growth or overgrowth in an organism that is a hybrid of two different species. It may be referred to as a growth dysplasia, especially when resulting in overgrowth, although this terminology may be confusing since the term dysplasia is commonly used to imply an impending cancer. However, a hybrid growth disorder is not caused by cancer.

When a male lion mates with a tigress, his genes promote large offspring because lions are adapted to a competitive breeding strategy. The tigress does not inhibit the growth because she is adapted to a non-competitive strategy. Therefore the offspring (liger) grows larger and stronger than either parent because the effects do not cancel each other out. Ligers take several years to reach full adult size, but it is a myth that ligers never stop growing.Another possible hypothesis is that the growth dysplasia results from the interaction between lion genes and tiger womb environment. The tiger produces a hormone that sets the fetal liger on a pattern of growth that does not end throughout his life. The hormonal hypothesis is that the cause of the male liger's growth is his sterility - essentially, the male liger remains in the pre-pubertal growth phase. This is not upheld by behavioral evidence - despite being sterile, many male ligers become sexually mature and mate with females. In addition, female ligers also attain great size but are fertile.More: Happiness Is, Laughing Hard With Your Bestie
